Go through Sections 35 & 36 of CGST Act 2017.
Records of transaction is mandatorily to be kept for atleast 5 years.
As per section 35 we can keep records in electronic format. However I specially need 2 know about sales bills issued by my vendor which are purchase bills 2 me.

As per GST ITC rules, I must have the tax invoice to avail itc on purchase. now my question is whether itc is allowed against xerox / scanned purchase bills?
